We are the students of the Fall 2019 Honors 294 class Forget What You Know: Exploring Human Memory, taught by Dr. Shana Southard-Dobbs. This website is the product of our class project to help students find more effective ways to study and remember information. We have made a series of videos and articles explaining some of the most effective study techniques discussed in Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning. There are informational articles on the study techniques as well as personal stories from students in different majors on how they use those techniques. The videos are entertaining and informative. There are so many people who collaborated on this website, and we hope you find it useful. Happy studying!

Elaboration- Connecting ideas and concepts with the material you are studying.
Interleaving- Practicing multiple subjects or concepts at the same time.
Spaced Practice- Studying a little at a time over several days or weeks.
